Woohoo for stashbusters!

Pattern: Lelah (size M) designed by ChristineMaterials: GGH Samoa (stash, less than 500 yds), 2 yds green velvet ribbon (Joann), US 9 and 7 circular needlesNotes: 9 lace repeats, 7" bust area w/ 1" allowance for elastic, 3/4" elastic band. Finished size: 29" on top to fit my 34" bustThis was a fun knit. Quick and easy. My stash was stressing me out and I got to frog a failed project to make this tube top. My bust looks a little "bunchy" in the pic because I had to tuck in my bra straps. Now where the heck did I put my strapless brassiere? I might make another in black Wool Ease just to bust my stash some more. Special thanks to Christine for this pretty design.

fantastique! great lelah! all the white lelahs make me wish i made mine in a lighter color. oh well. i ended up restarting my hot lava this weekend. i will not let it win! lol... i had to change the yarn tho. pics will be up tomorrow. (^_^)
